He could. But i promise you i have never seen a a player so terrified of contact in my life
As a fullback the trys he conceded because he simply refused to put a body on a guy and the tries he actually didnt score before he'd prefer to try and out run a guy and fail to finish in the corner, than to either take contact and score easily or draw and pass... it was honestly embarrassing. I honestly dont know how he had the balls to show up for the film sessions.
I agree 100%

And. Sadly. I'd take prime Reece Robinson in our side this week.
well, I guess you could say that I'm buy curious.

Is it over yet?
Gina Riley: Oh, come on, John. That’s a bit old hat, the corrupt IOC delegate.
John Clarke: Old hat? Gina, in the scientific world when they see that something is happening again and again and again, repeatedly, they don’t call it old hat. They call it a pattern.

Sorry Paul Crawley, no individual should be bigger than a football club. The contribution of any individual in a football department at a club is ultimately measured by wins and losses. If the contrary is true at Canberra, then that’s a very serious problem. And it would say a lot about the accountability structures. I have long said that member voting and representation on the Canberra Raiders board would add considerably to the strength of the accountability mechanisms.

‘It did cross my mind’: Returning Croker’s retirement fear

Canberra favourite Jarrod Croker said the fear of being medically retired was a bigger concern late last year following stem-cell surgery rather than now as he makes a popular return to the NRL on Friday.

“All that talk of [medical retirement] got to me more last year before I started training and playing when it was unknown about how the stem cell surgery was going to work,” Croker said.

Our 40th anniversary celebrations this weekend - Croker said the importance of playing for the old boys of Canberra.

* it was mentioned by Crawley we have young players that are not disciplined (I would say it's the older players and experienced players who are showing a lack of discipline)

* the journalists Riccio said read the tea leaves and think there's no pressure at all on Ricky. Only happened once in our history.

* Crawley said Ricky needs to be cut some slack - we made GF and PF when we flew up there on the day. Last year our HB walked out on us and lost John Bateman, and this year no Hodgson and no Fogarty
Regarding the bolded text above, can I confirm - is he referring to himself and Whitehead and calling on the younger more able player to lift to cover them, or is he anticipating former players are going to turn up to watch this fine clash and marvel on how far we have come in 40 years…..

It’s the annual player reunion and there’s a 40 year gala thing on Saturday night at the Hotel Realm. So all the old boys will be there on Friday night. Not sure why this is the weekend… might be the Bulldogs were the first official trial. And the first game was against the Rabbitohs, but that game is away. First home game was the Magpies and they don’t exist as an NRL team, first win was against Newtown and they don’t exist as an NRL team.

I got an invitation to the gala, as a Club 82 member, and also invited to pay $500 (tax deductible) for a ticket. I declined. Given the preseason thing was cancelled, looks like nothing will involve the regular fans.

It was the first trial match: viewtopic.php?t=22094

On November 2 1981, the new club held its first training session, with 70 players in all lining up, yet Canberra was still searching for players right up until the last minute, holding an open trial on January 31, 1982 at which 90 players turned out. The Canberra Raiders team had their first trial match February 6, 1982 against Canterbury (losing 16-10) and then their first home trial at Seiffert Oval against Illawarra on February 13 (losing 12-8).

So revealing. Our response to 5 straight losses and the very obvious reality that we're looking at a full rebuild is to...drop our three most inexperienced guys!

But wait, there's more! We'll also (I assume) move our 4th most inexperienced guy to the other side of the field to accommodate a 32 year old on one leg.

Good times.

We actually won with that 1,6,7,9.
WOOOOOW. Thats pretty good! Tight contest :lol:
CNK wins his match up against Robinson
McCrone might win against Frawls lolol
Williams definately takes the Schnieds match up at this stage of his development
But it's only been 1 game... and Adam Elliott might have Travy

What a battle of a titans!
I'd take every one of them, as they were then, over what is named this weekend.
Yeah, about the only thing missing from the current line up is a few short bullet passes to to the head, a fullback running away from the players he's meant to tackle and a dummy half throwing the ball behind his runners.
The current side just lost to a team that had been beaten by 60 points 5 days prior.
So last weeks Team was the worst then. :lol:

Parts in bold are just complete nonsense,
:does anyone honestly think any coach can keep his job if he keeps losing ? If that’s the case Ricky is the only one who can do it

Young players lacking discipline? :Pretty sure Rapana isn’t young and he’s the most undisciplined player I have ever seen

No pressure on Rick : ridiculous and if that’s the case the whole place needs a broom through it

Losing players to whatever reasons past few years : what a massive cop out , every team has lost players . To be a good coach you need to work with what you have and get the best out of them ( Bellamy cough cough )

Don't mind this lineup. Looking forward to the 3/4 being forced to get more involved with Wighton out.

As bad as CNK has been, good to see Rapana back on the wing.

Does anyone know if Steve Crawley from Fox/Telegraph is any relation to Mick Crawley our attack coach? I googled and there is a resemblance.

Anyway, I've never heard Steve Crawley criticise Ricky in the past or write something negative as they are mates and if he is related to our attack coach, should he be offering an opinion on the Canberra Raiders ?

This is the NRL not some local footy club. The only thing that matters is wins and losses and no one means more to the club than that.

I am sure that this team can play better than what they have. They’ve done it for short periods of games before completely falling to pieces. This far into the season and we still haven’t put a good 80 minutes together. It just isn’t good enough at this level.

Good teams at the moment are doing 2 things well. Defending for long periods without conceding points when the inevitable run of 6 agains and penalties goes against them. And converting their scoring opportunities when they arise. At the moment we can’t do either.

We play with no structure in attack and seem to be one of the laziest teams in the comp in terms of effort plays like getting back to marker, making tackles from marker, putting pressure on kickers, kick chase and getting back to help out after a kick. We do it sporadically and the good teams do it every play.

We also don’t seem to have a single player out there who is interested in putting their hand up and doing what it takes to win.

Anyway, I’m looking forward to another episode of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory against the bulldogs this weekend! The only real creativity we have shown this season is inventing new ways to lose!

Totally agree with all this, especially the football side, except for one thing. For all intents and purposes the NRL is run like a local footy club.

With few exceptions, I reckon everyone involved in the NRL - central admin and across the clubs - has no business being involved in professional sport and the sport would be better served if they were working for their local club. Ideally for rugby league that would also be in a different code.

Essentially, we can not be a professional sport when the majority of stakeholders are amateurs and snake oil salesmen that got lucky, and have convinced themselves that they are not only good at their jobs and deserve their positions, but also that luck has nothing to do with it.

Again, with some exceptions, this whole unseemly business, with everyone in on the rort, underpins the relationships between the media and the football clubs, the coaches, and the agents.

In some respects players and fans probably have the most in common, as players are disposable and fans barely enter into the thinking of the establishment at all.

Local footy has its own problems and the NRL occasionally gets some things right, but that’s beside the point.

Anyway, sorry Pickles, I do agree with you (was picking up on the Crawley stuff as well).

Cotric to celebrate 100 games for the Raiders



Into his fifth season with the Canberra Raiders, Nick Cotric is set to play his 100th game for the club this Friday night at GIO Stadium.

“It means a lot to me to do it (play 100 games) at a club like this where it all started,” Cotric said. “I just want to get the win with the boys. It’s been a tough couple of weeks but hopefully we can work through this and come out the other side," Cotric said.

Not sure why this is the weekend… might be the Bulldogs were the first official trial. And the first game was against the Rabbitohs, but that game is away. First home game was the Magpies and they don’t exist as an NRL team, first win was against Newtown and they don’t exist as an NRL team.

I got an invitation to the gala, as a Club 82 member, and also invited to pay $500 (tax deductible) for a ticket. I declined. Given the preseason thing was cancelled, looks like nothing will involve the regular fans.
Invited to pay $500 haha nice … they are kidding
